Next, stitch the rectangles together along the sides, leaving the top open for your waist.

Creating a travel cord organiser is a practical and enjoyable sewing project that will keep your cables neatly arranged while on the go. Here’s a concise guide using Brother sewing techniques to get you started.

Materials Needed:

• Fabric of your choice (cotton works well)
• Fusible interfacing for added durability
• Velcro or snap fasteners
• Sewing machine (Brother models are ideal)
• Thread
• Scissors
• Ruler and chalk or fabric marker

Steps:

1. Cut the Fabric: Start by cutting two pieces of fabric. A typical size might be 20 inches by 10 inches, but you can adjust this based on your needs. Additionally, cut a piece of interfacing to the same size.

2. Apply Fusible Interfacing: Iron the interfacing to the wrong side of one fabric piece, which will give your organiser some structure.

3. Prepare the Flaps: For cord compartments, cut smaller strips (approximately 2-3 inches wide) from leftover fabric. Fold and press each strip in half lengthwise, then sew down the open edge. Attach these flaps to the main fabric piece at even intervals to create slots for your cords.

4. Sew the Main Pieces Together: Place the two fabric pieces right sides together and sew around the edges, leaving a small opening (about 4 inches) to turn the fabric right side out. Trim the corners to reduce bulk, and turn the pouch through the opening.

5. Finish the Edges: Once turned, press the organiser and stitch the opening closed. Topstitch around the edge for a polished look and added durability.

6. Add Fasteners: Attach Velcro or snaps to keep the organiser securely closed when not in use.

Your travel cord organiser is now ready! This handy accessory will not only keep your cords tangle-free but will also showcase your sewing skills. Enjoy sewing with your Brother machine, and happy travels!
